Manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters Roland DG has launched its TY-300 Direct-to-Film (DTF) production transfer printer, now available across Europe following its debut in Japan in September 2024.
The TY-300 ‘redefines’ DTF transfer printing, delivering exceptional image quality, productivity, and cost performance, tailored to meet the demands of the apparel industry, says the company.
Equipped with newly engineered print heads and True Rich Color 3 settings, the TY-300 produces vibrant, lifelike prints with a smooth, natural finish, according to the manufacturer. The printer also offers two white ink density profiles for optimal results on various fabric types. To complement the TY-300, Roland DG provides a DTF shaker oven for efficient curing.
The S-PG2 DTF ink used with the printer enhances print quality while reducing ink consumption and waste, adds Roland. Advanced features, including automatic printhead cleaning, a nozzle refresher tool, and user-replaceable parts, minimise downtime and improve operational efficiency. The company stated that these ‘revolutionary’ features unlock ‘limitless potential’ for the print and design sectors.
Ryugo Nimura, president of Roland DG’s global sales and marketing division, commented, ‘In just a few years, DTF technology has revolutionised apparel production, with businesses around the world adopting it. We are confident the TY-300 will help screen printers, print shops, and online apparel brands boost profitability and stay competitive. Roland DG remains dedicated to fostering creativity through innovative digital solutions.’
